Sligo definitely upped the tempo in the second period and played much better as a result. However, Schlingermann had to make a good save on the quarter hour to keep out a decent effort by Porter after a long throw by Roxy. Three minutes later, Cretaro was allowed travel a long way into the Youth's box by the Wexford defence, and he tucked a low shot into the left-hand corner to give Doyle no chance for 1-1. Sligo's Sadlier then got in a good cross which the Wexford defence cleared with difficulty. With ten minutes to go, Jonny Bonner came on in place of Shane Dempsey for Wexford and further Wexford subs were Conor O'Keeffe and Andy Mulligan. With the game looking like it was going to end in a draw, Sligo made the mistake of giving the ball away cheaply on three occasions in the last few minutes in their own half. From the third of these errors, the ball fell to Jonny Bonner who waited and waited until the right run was made, and he picked out Andy Mulligan who tucked the ball past the advancing Schlingermann into the bottom right-hand corner to give the Youths an unlikely win at 2-1 after four minutes of injury time.
